Leather Leggings for fall??

BasketballCourt · Sep 5th, 2008, 06:32 PM

I think it would take a skinny person (think models) to pull this look off. Leather leggings aren't the most flattering but on the right person they can look really nice!

^^ Totally agree! Looks like they're more suited for a leaner body (which I'm definitely not!)

I think the look is totally hot and would wear them in a nanosecond, but I would be afraid that they would either be terribly uncomfortable and too warm, or they would stretch out and look baggy. And VS doesn't have a good return policy if they do either once worn.

I am definitely opting for stretch shiny leggings for a whole lot less $$.

I love the look. I think my legs are a bit to thick to wear them though.

The Kova & T ones are super hot.

I think they're tendy and they will be on sale for really cheap soon.

I love the look too

love them, still need to ge them

VS is actually REALLY good about returns. They will pretty much take back anything.

laureenthemean · Sep 6th, 2008, 05:52 PM

^^Yup, that has been my experience as well.

pinkmitsy4 · Sep 6th, 2008, 08:17 PM

I think the look is great for fall.

i think they're awesome. i couldn't pull them off, but i am totally envious of those who can.

kara_n · Sep 6th, 2008, 10:59 PM

I love them but don't think I could pull them off. I'm only like 5'3" and i'm a size 6-8. 26" waist, but 38" hips. eeek. They'd look bad on me probably. I think only super slim people with narrow hips can wear these...

I never wore skinnies, because I am tall. Skinnie with heels made me feel a bit SPIDERISH...

I bought black leggings that are "leather-like" from Loehmann's. Its by Romeo and Juliet Couture and the price was $29, marked down from $98. I bought a black cashmere deep v-neck sweater to go with it.

I like them, but I couldn't wear them myself. My legs aren't exactly skinny-skinny. (to illustrate: I can't fit into J-Brand skinny jeans. My calves are too big)

Love this look!!! If I can drop a few pounds I could easily be talked into buying a pair
